“Are you getting on the right “Bus”? Who are you letting on your “Bus”? Who is “Driving Your Bus”? … Check out the video below. Great video below, from a wise parent to her 14 year old son. “You will never accomplish what you want to achieve by doing it alone; however, you can accomplish a lot more if you do it with great people.” ~ Coach K.

REMINDER… Coaches are Volunteers. Teachers who Coach a School Athletic Team don’t get paid and Coaching is not part of our Job Description. We do not get paid to open the gym in the early morning, at lunch, after school, on the weekends, or when we take our teams to weekend tournaments. Educators Volunteer to Coach because we know the opportunities that playing on a school sport team provides for our students and the potential doors that are opened for them. By participating on a school team, students contribute to school culture and they are provided the opportunities to work on their overall development, growth, and wellbeing. We encourage all of our SMS Students to get involved in our SMS Athletic Program by trying a sport they like and participating on one or more of our school teams each year. Those who are committed and get involved, open doors.
Our SMS Staff would like to thank everyone for their continued support of our Athletic Program at Shuswap Middle School.

Reminder… 5 Ways to Develop Mental Toughness and Resiliency …
1. Get up Early… when the alarm goes off, don’t hit the snooze … get out of bed…
2. Make Your Bed as a Habit… as soon as you get up make your bed - perfectly! Start the day with a Win!
3. Do Work… Attend AM Open Gym or if not, do push-ups, sit-ups, etc…
4. When the School Day is Over… Study First … If you have early Bball Practice, then study after practice… If you have late Bball Practice, then stay at school, attend Study Hall and Do Your Work… Read, Re-Read, Write, Re-Write, Review - That’s what homework is…
5. Eat Something You Don’t Like Regularly… as a Habit… Mr. Smith doesn’t let tomatoes be tougher than him… He still doesn’t like tomatoes, but he eats them anyway…
Why do all the things above … because they are usually the last things you want to do… Do the things that you don’t want to do, but that are good for you, and make them a part of your Daily Habits… That’s how one Develops Mental Toughness.
